The opportunity to celebrate the life and memory of Edna brought with it the chance to spend time back east with my father and his siblings.

As wonderful as that was, it also was a great chance to connect with the Klausman’s and show our appreciation for their saintly matriarch. We each commented at least once how much it meant to us for their inviting us in so readily into their lives as the two families joined with their marriage in 2003.

Spoken of often was Edna’s faith, friendship and fervent devotion to her family. Her empathy and caring nature impacted everyone she met for good.
